Fund to offer in-home therapy for moms and dads who are expecting a
child or have an infant in their home. The therapist assists clients who
have a mental health diagnosis or those who may be struggling with
postpartum depression. The therapist works alongside the home
visiting team that offers in-home education and support. If you are in
need or know someone who might need help, please call 414-573-5899.
Archdiocesan Respect Life Mass All are invited to the annual Archdiocesan Respect Life Mass &
Reception, Monday, January 22, at Blessed Savior Parish (8545 West
Villard Avenue), as we observe the National Day of Penance and
Prayer for Life. Catholics across the Archdiocese join in fellowship to
pray in penance for violations to the dignity of the human person
committed through acts of abortion and for the full restoration of the
legal guarantee of the right to life, from conception to natural death.
Planning to attend? Bring a donation of diapers for newborns,
infants, or toddlers, which will be distributed throughout the
community by the Christ Child Society. We will pray a Rosary at
6:30PM and Mass will start at 7:00, with a reception to follow.

Wanted: jewelry you don’t want! Cleaning out a jewelry box? St. Ann Center for
Intergenerational Care will put those out-of-style
necklaces, broken bracelets, too-small rings, and
more (even single earrings) to GREAT use. Vintage
jewelry, costume jewelry—we can use it all. Our
knowledgeable volunteers will sort it, clean it, repair
it or imaginatively reinvent it, price it, and sell it.
ALL proceeds fund the necessary health and wellness
day services for our clients of all ages and abilities,
from tiny infants to the frail elderly to those with
severe disabilities. Our sales are legendary and the
donations so appreciated! Bring your jewelry
donations to the parish office and Theresa will be
sure they make it to St. Ann Center.
